New Ulm weekly review., 1887-09-21

Of the Brown County Agricultural So
!. ciety opened Monday and will
close to-day.
It is pronounced success by all who
have seen il.
The exhibit of grain, vegetables, fruits
and flowers is fully up to any ever
sheWn heretofore. Seventy eight en-
tries, comprising three hundred and
twenty three varieties were made in this
department alone. It was expected
that the Brown County exhibit to the
State fair would be here in time to be
entered at our fair, but it failed to come.
1t it had the entries would have been
double the number, but the unanimous
verdict of visitors is, that the exhibit is
complete, without any more additions.
